Beautiful, supportive and reliable.
Tips: I have observed a huge cultural shift, especially during Indian festivals. They do celebrate here, but it can't be compared with the celebrations in India. I got a 25% scholarship, applying online. If you are coming through agents, always make sure to double-check the information provided by the agent. I have come across multiple Indian students who were cheated by their agents, only to extort money from them. If people have experience from India, then they won't find the course very useful. Although the professors provide huge support to students in their academics so make sure to reach out and don't be shy.
Likes (Indian Food): If students are looking for Indian restaurants, Clayton has several options. While I prefer cooking at home to manage my calorie intake, a typical meal costs around 30 AUD. I would recommend trying different cuisines as well.
Dislikes (Part time work): I would recommend that students always check their student job portals for availability on-campus part-time jobs. The pay rate is very good. Sometimes managing part-time work along with academics might be a bit difficult but try to balance everything.

Deakin University increases fees every year, so living on campus is expensive.
Tips: One thing that students should know before coming to this university is that the teaching style is quite different from that in India, and there won't be regular classes and exams as we are accustomed to in India. Students need to make themselves more practical-oriented and focus on balancing their studies with other chores. Some other important points to note are that university fees increase every year, and living inside the university accommodation is expensive, as compared to living outside.
Likes (Safety): Deakin always has security officers present at the university 24/7. Also, they have an app called Safe Zone, using which the campus security team can access our location. There are different options available on the application, using which we can call the campus support services.
Dislikes (Internships): It's not hard to get into chips, but in Australia, colleges don't place students, and you are responsible for finding your own internships. Thankfully, Deakin has a team called "DeakinTalent" that can provide some guidance on building a resume and LinkedIn profile. Still, you're left to your own devices to take full advantage of these resources.

The university is diverse, has a great culture, and really puts students first.
Tips: Deakin University is a great place to study. I like that the university is diverse, has a great culture, and really puts students first. It has several campuses, but Burwood is the main one. It's a fun university with a very diverse and friendly student body.
Likes (Safety): Melbourne or other cities in Australia are super safe because of super friendly people, there is a strong sense of community, and it is a developed country, so services like police help or ambulance are very great and fast. Australia is also very clean.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I want permanent residence, or PR or citizenship of Australia because it is a very good country and very diverse in culture, with proper safety and also the work-life balance is great. Career growth is best in Australia, and you can also change careers very easily.

Deakin University is academically demanding but rewarding.
Tips: Before joining, know it's academically demanding but rewarding. Transitioning was tough at first cultural shift hit hard, but I got adapted in about 2 months. I got a merit-based scholarship with a decent discount on my studies. Overall, I am satisfied with the course.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is one of the best things in Melbourne. Trains, trams and buses - they connect every small area which you can not even think of. Everything runs on a smart card system called Myki, and services are generally frequent, reliable and easy to navigate for newcomers.
Dislikes (Internships): Honesty internships are not really the culture here. Instead, you usually get part-time jobs, working alongside professors as assistants and getting paid for that experience. However, typically you need to be at least in your second year of studies and have a decent academic standing to do this.

Poor course, great university, great country, and networking is preferred over skills.
Tips: My Indian University hired a VISA consultant who did most of the application work and I prepared for my IELTS to transition here, taking the entire process about 5 months. The difference was too much availability of non-vegetarian food such as beef, pork, chicken, fish etc. which you might also have to deal with at part-time jobs and expensive vegetarian food if eating out. Further, the weather here is unpredictable as rain can downpour anytime. Cleaning standards are high here and dust does not fly off in the wind hence white clothes or shoes will not get dirty for days. Teachers and professors or even the elderly are called by their first names without any sir or mam. The culture is also difficult for Indian students as we are used to getting spoon-fed by our teachers while maintaining a standard of attendance, but here you can attend classes at your own pace and you are expected to have gone through the provided online material before attending any class. My scholarship is 25% which was the maximum allowed and is provided by almost all the universities in Australia easily and my course included getting a high credit grade to avail scholarship. Overall, I'm satisfied with my course due to the negligence of core unit selection. However, I'm satisfied with the country and the university that provides several services such as counselling, networking, sports events and other events.
Likes (Safety): The region that I live in Melbourne, Victoria is pretty safe and I can walk with headphones, using my smartphone in the middle of the night, without a care of being robbed, mugged or assaulted but there are always exceptions such as drunkards, hood people and more. To date, I have had no safety issues. To ensure safety, most of the area is covered with surveillance systems, cameras, traffic systems, reliable health care services expensive, or not have good health cover and trustworthy and unbiased people, mostly.
Dislikes (Part time work): The availability of on-campus part-time jobs is scarce and off-campus jobs are average and mostly require prior experience, and references which can be anyone as long as they have an "Australian phone number" and several hours of standing and repetitive work. There is racism when getting a job and recruiters mostly prefer people from their own ethnicity, except Indians who try to exploit you in terms of pay rate as well as other ways. The part-time work is manageable as there is a strict maximum limit of working 48 hours a fortnight, hence, one can easily manage their academics, if capable. The average payout in Australia in Victoria for part-time is 24.1 AUD per hour and for casuals which is another job category, that includes you working, when there is a requirement, you have the control to reject plays 30.25 AUD per hour, which could be unreliable at times.
